For this, make sure that you have a cardinput that matches to the proper 
capture card and the proper channel source..  If you crack open the source, 
try to see why libs/libmythtv/tv.cpp:TV::CheckChannel() (starting at line 
1656) returns false.

Pretty much the same thing, really..  Take a look at 
libs/libmythtv/tv.cpp:TV::SetChannel() (line 884), and see if you can figure 
out why it's changing to the wrong channel.  I'd like to know the main query 
in both cases (stick something like a cout << thequery << endl; after it gets 
setup), and the results from the databae.

That's no longer the case with the current database structure -- the internal 
channel ids are 1000 + channel number.
